REGATTA BLACK SILKS

In our last number of the IDLE HOUR
we referred to the great difficulty we, in
common with all other reputable mer-
chants, have had in securing for our GUS
toners a line of Silks that would be all
that they pretended to be and that would
give reasonable satisfaction.
There is no use in denying the fact that
the silk product of the last few years has
been more or less of a disappointment to
the ladies.
1t is not at all hard to tell the reason
why, and maybe the telling will be of in
terest to you.
In the first place, silk in its natural state
contains about four ounces of animal gum
to every sixteen ounces. The first process
after the silk is made is to remove this
gum in preparation for dyeing.
1t is not unusual for the twelve ounces
of pure silk to be so adulterated that after
two weeks of manipulation in the dye-tubs
1t is returned to the manufacturer weigh
ing sixty ounces or more.
This enormous addition of chemicals,
soap and dye-woods after short time be-
gin the work of rotting the silk, until in a
short time it actually falls to pieces with
out any wear
We ought to have called your attention
to one make of silks that are freer from
these fatal objections than nearly all others,
and from which we have heard the very
best reports from our customers.

was with difficulty saved. The family es-
capped in their night clothes. Nothing was
saved from the chambers except a small lot
of flannel underwear that Mr.. Clifford caught

bed. Some of the household goods on the
first floor were saved, including two feather
beds and an organ Some of the goods
from the store were also saved. The loss at
present is not known. Insured for $1,000

We refer to the " Regatta Silks" that
we now keep in fourteen different numbers,
to represent every need of the purchaser
and still give her the full value of her
money with the least possible amount of
adulteration.
No other house in Worcester can place
an order with the manufacturers of the
Regatta Silks, because it is their nvari-
able rule to sell to only one house in each
city,
The prices begin with 81 I-2 cents, and
increase IL I-2 cents up to 81. 50 per yard /;
the most popular price, however, being
between SLIP I-2 to 81. SO per yard.
These silks are warranted by the manu-
facturer against anything silk may be to
blame for; but of course no silk can be
warranted against palpable carelessness.
Every season during the last five years
our sales of Regatta Silks have decidedly
increased, and we are happy to state also
that the quality and finish have also
kept pace with the increased demand
for them
We recommend them with great conf
uence and we will with pleasure send you
samples with prices.
These Regatta Blacks are the best ex-
tant. They will not grow rusty or
crack, but will give you good, honest
wear for years.
Remember that the 81 IL cent and $500
Regatta Silks are warranted.

THE Factors OF ORGANIC Evolution"
by Herbert Spencer, reprinted with addi-
tlons from The Nineteenth Centtvy. d. APP
pleoton & Co., New York. The author pro.
poses to set forth the process of evolution.
Ihat is how the organic is evolved from
the inorganic. Certainly Mr.. Spencer's il
lustration OF the method by which this il
done is very curious one. He takes the
hardening OF the epiderms in places where
friction exists; the throwing out of the pro-
tecting bark from the inner growth of the
trunk. 1t is the environment which pro-
duces the changes in both cases The
starting-point OF life is the cell and even
here there is an outer covering different
from that which it envelops. AS soon as
a portion Of protoplasm becomes isolated it
becomes cell and surrounds itself with a
cell-wall. Then the cell breaks and new
ones are formed, until there is cluster of
cells. He says: A" All the visible forms of
lie have risen by union of the invisible
forms; which, instead of flying apart when
they divided, remained together" This is
all to be ascribed, he says, to the primitive
action and reaction between the organism
Vlronment on the outer surface produces all
the changes which occur within. SO he
argues mat " at remote period in the
past when the temperature of the earth's
surface was much higher than at present,
and other physical conditions were unlike
those we know, inorganic matter gave
origin TO organic matter" There was a
tlme when all was pure protoplasm-homo-
geneous-but it is universal principle that
the homogeneous is restless and unstable:
IT tends to pass into the Heterogeneous. The
first step, then, towards life was that change
occurred, caused by the action of the sur
rounding medium; what was alike began to
become unlike, began to break off and so a
cell was formed having an outside and an
inside " The direct action of the medium
was the primordial factor in organic evolu-
ton" The medium, he comes at last to
conclude, is light combining with oxygen.
This was what started the original break in
the mass of protoplasm.

Obituary..

PATTERsoN.-Hon Rodney e. Patterson
died at his residence in Barre Tuesday
June 2Sth, after suffering for long time
with consumption, at the age of seventy
three. He leaves a wife, one daughter
(Mrs. Alice l.. Hutchinson of ORANGE and
one son Harry c., who resides at home)
Mr.. Patterson was the son of DR.. AMI
Patterson, successful practitioner of medi-
cine in Barre years ago. The subject of
this sketch was at an early age thrown on
his own resources and by his efforts sue
ceeded in obtaining an honorable place
among his fellow-men. He has represented
the town of Orange in the legislature, and
always occupied positions of honor and
trust in his native town, He at one time
held the position OF associate Judge of the
county court of Orange county, and as
such was regarded as an energetic business
man and was highly respected throughout
the county. He was often called upon, as
executor of wills and administrator, to add
minister estates. After living on his farm
in Orange thirty years he bought the
Friend Downing place in Barre, on which
he had lived eleven years. For the last
two years he had been great sufferer.
His funeral was held at his late residence
last week Wednesday, and was attended by
large circle of friends.

VermOnt's Centennial.

Vermont was the first addition to the
family of thirteen states composing the
Union that emerged from the revolution The
stormy quarrel over their land titles which
her settlers had with the authorities of New
York had kept her out of the Union during
the revolutionary war, though it did not
keep her sons out of the patriot armies. In
1717 the people of Vermont formed a con-
stitution and proclaimed themselves an in
dependent commonwealth, under the name
of New Connecticut. British emissaries
tried to intrigue with them against the thir-
teen struggling colonies, but Vermont was
as true to the cause of liberty then as she
has been ever since. But not until 1871
after New Iork's demands had been settled
by the payment of $4,000 was she finally
admitted to the Union as a state. During
the first half of this century the growth of
the state was very rapid, but since 1910 her
population has been almost stationary. But
if her people have not increased in numbers
they certainly have not diminished in repu-
tation. If there has been anything stead
fast in this world of change it has been the
political principles of the people of YER
mont. A steadfast old wing state, it wheeled
easily into the republican line in the cam
paign of John G. Fremont and has since
kept its position without the shadow of a
change. To-day the republican party can
muster in Vermont a majority that is larger
than the whole democratic party of the
state. Other states have outstripped
Vermont in the race for commercial in
fiuence. Her rugged hills cannot COM
pete with the fertile praries of the West
in anything but the production of men.
But through the answering steadfastness
of her people and the abilities of her states
men Vermont has eXerted in the national
councils an influence as disproportionate to
her size as that size is disproportionate to
the magnitude of Texas. The centennial
year ought to be observed by grand cee-
bration, and four years is none too long a
time ahead to begin to plan for it.-Por-
ldnd Press.
